Kentucky Educational Television has a new executive director and CEO. The network announced today Shae Hopkins will be the fourth leader in KET's 41-year history, succeeding Malcolm Wall, who is retiring.
KET Authority Chair Hilma Prather says Hopkins is the right person for job.
"The manner of doing KET's business is changing daily as we move into the digital format and Shae knows that aspect of the business plus her heart and her passion are in education and that's what KET is all about."
A 24-year veteran of KET, Hopkins has served for the past five years as the network's deputy executive director for education, programming and production. She begins her new job on January first.
